Cisco VPN – Cisco’s Virtual Private Network software is used to access WFU network resources (ex. fileshares, keyed software) while off campus. VPN also has the added benefit of providing a user with a “more” secure Internet experience while connected to “free” Internet access points (ex. Panera, Starbucks, hotels…).

KeyServer (Sassafras K2 Client) – Many of the software applications are very expensive and Wake Forest can only purchase a limited number of copies. The KeyServer application allows Wake Forest to purchase a few copies of an application but still grant access to the application for all campus users. To use Wake Forest keyed software, you must be connected to the DEACNET network, be using Cisco VPN while off campus, or have “checked out” the application using Sassafras KeyCheckout if you are going to be in an area without Internet access.
